Hi,
I had a web connection but the XP PC was needing to be cleaned and reinstalled. I have done that and now find I have no internet connection. My connection is through a Sky Netgear router and all the lights are on but no connection can be found. In the Device Manager the ethernet port has a question mark and an exclamation mark and says the drivers need to be installed. Firstly, I didn't think a plug and play ethernet connection needed drivers, secondly, I haven't got a web connection to download them!!

Can anyone help please?

Cheersm

I could have swore I posted to this but I don't see my post anywhere...funny.

Anyway, you'll need to download the drivers on a computer with a connection and put them on a flash drive or a CD-R then back to the machine that needs them.
